` MAGHIN-E'IA'OR MAKING PAPER COLLARSI @Llp tigrhule referat tu in liest glitters rttnt mit maling @anni the time;

`To ALL WHQM 1T MAY ooNeERN:

Be it known that I, OSCAR F. WASIIBURN, oftlietown of Bridgewater, county of Windsor, and State of Vermont, have invented certain Improvements in Machine for Manufacturing Collars 'from Paper; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionl thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in whicli i Figure 1 is a side elevation of my machine, showing the side towards the observexyat which thc material is fed into the machine. .I p

Figure 2 is also a side elevation, showing the side of the machine at which the'work is discharged therefrom.

Figure 3 is an end elevation, showing the end towards the observer, which is at the left hand in fig. 1, and at the right hand in iig. 2. i

Figure 4 is also anend elevation, showing the opposite end of the machine.

Figure 5 is a vertical transverse section, `taken through the centre. y

Figure 6 is a vertical longitudinal section, showing` detail lthe die and other concomitantparts.

Figure 7 is a plan of the die. Y Y

A A are the end pieces of the frame of the machine, which are connected together by'rods B B, and the` bed piece C, which latter is supported by the projections D D, from the end pieces A, and secured in position by the bolts or screws a a. E E are rollers, between .which and by the action of which the material is fed forf ward, to be acted upon by the die and its concomitant parts to form the collar. Fis the driving-shaft, provided with suitable eccentrics and tappets, for giving motion to the diiierent parts of the-machine. G is the die upon which the collars .are cut out andvformed. It is provided with a cutting-edge, 6, which extends around it in the form in which the collar isto be made. J ust inside of the cutting-edge there is an embossing-edge, c, so formed as to make an impression in the paper whi'chshall resemble a row of stitches. In addition to this, there is in the said die an indentation, ol, either curved orv straight, extending nearly'its entire length. A folder, H,

operates in connection with this indentation', and creases or indents the collar, to facilitate its being folded'. If

the machine is not to make a folded collar, then the folder H may be dispensed with. e ef are indentations made in the die for the. purpose of forming the button-holes, which is done by cutters or punches, g, ofthe proper shape, attache-d to the cross-head, and working in connection with these indentations.- I is a cross-head, hung in ways in the end pieces A, to which the metal plate or follower, J, intended to meet the die to cut outthe collars, and the cutters yor punches g to cut the button-holes,'are attached. 'This cross-head receives an alternate vertical motion from the eccentric, K, on the main shaft, through connectingrbds LL, which are attached to bearings, extending from the cross-head or' platen. Thefolder or creasing-knife H works through the cross-head I, and is operated by eccentrics M and rods M2. These eccentrics are so placed on the shaftas to bring the creuser down upon the work just as the cross-head I commences to rise from it. The folding-knife is attached to a slide, N, from which it may be removed when itis not desired to make folded collars.

Motion is given intermittently to the feeding-.rollers E by means'of a pawl, j, connected to a lever, O, that receives motion from a cam, P, attached so the driving-shaft, which cam operates the lever to move the material forward at the time that the cross-head and creaser are rising from the work.. The lever is kept against'the periphery of the cam by means of a spring, 1c, and the pawl is kept down upon the wheel Q of the upper feedroll by the spring Z. The feed-rollers are geared together by means of the wheels Q and R, and these rollers are prevented from being turned in an opposite direction during the return of the pawl j by means of a. ratchet Land pawl attached insidethe'wheel Q. v I

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. A collar-formed die forcutting out a collar, when provided with an embossing-device situated within the cutting-edge ofthe die, substantially as described. I'

2. A collar-formed die for cutting out a collar, when provided with an embossing-device and an indentation for folding a. collar, substantially as described. l i l 3. A collar-formed die for cutting out' collars, when provided with an embossing-deviceand indentatone for button-heling, substantially as described. t

4. A collar-formed diei for cutting out a collar, when provided with an indentation or crease for folding,

substantially as described.

5. A movable platen, in combination with a collar-formed die, -having inside its cutting-edge an embossing device, substantially as described. y

6. A movable platen provided with cutters, in combination with a collar-formed die, having an embossingdevice and indentations'for button-holing, all operating together substantially as described.

7. A collar-formed die, having an embossing-device, a crease for folding, and indentations for button-holing, in combination with a movable platen provided with cutters, and with a folding-knife, substantially as described.

8. A roller-feeding mechanism, and a collar-cutting and embossing-mechanism, substantially such as described, in combination.

9. A roller-feeding mechanism, and a collar-cutting and embossing and a button-holing mechanism, such as described, in combination. n Y

10. A roller-feeding mechanism, a collar-cutting and embossing, a button-heling and a Ifolding-mechanism, substantially such as described, in combination.

11. A roller-feeding mechanism, a collar-cutting and folding-mechanism, substantially such as described, in combination. 4 4

12. The combination of geared feeding-rollers -E with toothed armj and lever-O, constructed and operating as and for the purpose described.

13. 'The combination of shaft F, cccentrics -K M, rods L M2, movable platen I, slide N, and folding-knife H, substantially as and for the purpose described.

14. The machine herein described, when constructed, combined, and operating to cut, emboss, button-hole, and crease a collar to be folded at a single operation or revolution of the main shaft, all as set forth.

In testimony whereof', I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
